For true credibility your methodologies must be transparent. To capture data, share the data, and provide any inherent guidance in audience on line, you MUST tell the user or client what and how the data is captured. Explain your sample size and methodologies! Otherwise, you are not helping the industry. Even comScore does that! Shame on you Compete. For true credibility your methodologies must be transparent.

Keep being cool (which means maintain some independence from somewhat TNS). Also, be sure to link up with your colleagues in Boston at Cymfony. You could do some cool joint products, paid and free.

Consumer panel operations have nothing to offer you. They benefit more from this partnership than you. You should have proactively solicited one of the major search engines or marketing companies to partner with you. You have so much potential - what can this type of company possibly offer you. This was a short-sighted move. <b>Frankly, you are too good for them!</b> It would have been better had you been acquired by Google, Yahoo or Microsoft.
